Ask In Chat creates a quick side thread so you can question a specific part of an assistant reply without losing your place.
  • Highlight any sentence or code block to open the Ask in chat popover
  • Your question runs in a lightweight thread that keeps the full context from the original chat
  • You can drag in files or images for extra detail before you send the follow-up

​
Start a Follow-Up

  1. Highlight the text you want to discuss.
  2. Click Ask in chat in the popover.
  3. Type your question. Add files or screenshots if they help.
  4. Send it. The answer appears in a dedicated side conversation while the main chat stays untouched.
Mistle combines your highlight with the original discussion so the answer feels grounded in what you were already talking about.

​
Great Times to Use It

  • You need a clearer explanation of a line in the response.
  • You want to explore an alternative solution without steering the main chat off course.
  • You spotted a potential issue in a plan and want to test the idea before committing to it.

​
Make the Most of Side Threads

  • Critique a plan: Highlight the proposed steps and ask for risks, missing tests, or trade-offs.
  • Verify the details: Share a snippet and confirm edge cases or input expectations.
  • Clarify vocabulary: Ask for quick definitions when the chat introduces a new term.
Each follow-up stays tied to the original highlight, so you can hop between threads without rebuilding context.
